[quote=Anonymous]We have lived in our 3br brick colonial in close-in Montgomery County for 10 years. We like the house and our short commutes, but have never loved the actual neighborhood - it's not very diverse, tends a tad to the right politically (as much as any close-in neighborhood does at least). Also we can't walk anywhere, and we'd prefer to be within walking distance of some restaurants and places our kids could walk or bike to on their own as they get older (even just a little drugstore to buy ice cream on the way home from school). If we could have a "do-over," we'd pick a comparable house in a different neighborhood, but we struggle with whether it is worth the transaction costs of such a move, plus the disruption to our kids (elementary school aged) to change schools, sports teams and friends for these types of reasons, which don't se very significant in the big scheme of things (it's not like we've outgrown the house, or want to move farther out to get a bigger yard or closer in to get a shorter commute - we just want a different neighborhood!). If you have done this, was it worth the "costs"? Thanks. [/quote]
